DeadCode Hunter by Vinish 🎯

Hunt orphan code, unreferenced media, and ghost npm dependencies with zero-risk safe deletion.


⚡ Features at a Glance

  • 🎯 Tri-Factor Scanning: Unifies dead code detection (.js, .jsx, .ts, .tsx), dangling media assets (.svg, .png, .jpg, .webp), and unreferenced npm dependencies (package.json) in one scan.
  • ♻️ Windows Recycle Bin (Safe Undo): Deletions are sent to your OS Recycle Bin instead of hard unlinking. Restore files anytime with 1-click.
  • 🛡️ Git Stash Backup Safety Net: Automatically captures a timestamped stash snapshot (git stash push -u) before batch deletions so you can undo anytime with git stash pop.
  • 👯 Cryptographic Duplicate Media Detection: Identifies exact binary clone assets across folders using SHA-256 content hashing.
  • ⏳ File Age & Staleness Badges: Shows how long a file has been abandoned (Today, X mo ago, > 1y ago).
  • 🔍 Instant Live Search & Filter: Filter files, folders, and extensions in real-time as you type.
  • 📊 Storage Breakdown Treemap: Visual distribution showing which folders hold the most reclaimable space.
  • 📑 Markdown Audit Report: Generates and downloads itemized compliance reports for Pull Requests.
